Jax Taylor is surrounded by plastic surgery rumors

Taylor has fans believing he took the help of plastic surgery after looking different in recent photos. He appeared in holiday snaps last year, sparking rumors about his changed appearance.

Speculations went rife that he went under the knife or used loads of botox, fillers, and/or facelift. However, he has not commented on such rumors.

Having said that, the 43-year-old has been open about his multiple nose jobs (and subsequent revision surgery). He reportedly wanted a ‘little more refined and still masculine’ nose.

Additionally, he has also been candid about his ‘man boob job’ to remove fatty tissues believed to have formed by the use of supplements. He publicly revealed the reduction process in a December 2017 episode of Vanderpump Rules.

Dr. John Layke, the reality star’s surgeon from Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, shared he opted to have the surgery to do away with his body image issues due to his gynecomastia.

The same doc helped with the cosmetic transformation of his wife, Brittany Cartwright. She underwent breast enlargement surgery, ending up with a D-cup. The Kentucky native showed off her new figure while on a family trip to Mexico.

Taylor’s real name is Jason Michael Cauchi, which he changed when he was 21. He was traveling and modeling a lot and thought the new name was more suitable.

The Michigan native has a net worth of $4 million. His career as an actor, model, and reality television star has made this possible.

He is perhaps most famous for being a cast member of Vanderpump Rules, a Bravo reality show following the volatile lives of waiters and waitresses at West Hollywood restaurants owned by Lisa Vanderpump.

He appeared in 47 episodes of the show between 2013 and 2018 and also starred in its 2017 spinoff with future wife Brittany.

Her fans were not thrilled by her new looks and questioned whether she had received plastic surgery on her face. Some of her fans were coy, but others were blunt and often tweeted that she looked like plastic.

As each day passed, the public opinion was clear that they were sure the actress had plastic surgery, but they did not like her new look. When the rumor was too loud to ignore, the actress said she wouldn’t respond to hate as some people quickly judge.

The actress did not openly admit or dismiss she received plastic surgery, but her fans were not satisfied with her explanation.

An Expert Plastic surgeon confirmed Meg Ryan did have plastic surgery

When the rumor started getting loud that Ryan received plastic surgery or not, many plastic surgery experts started to give their opinions.

Among them was the expert plastic surgeon Mark Youssef who confirmed that judging by her latest photo, she did receive the plastic surgery. He described that she may have taken a facelift and had botox on her forehead, drastically changing her looks.

Youssef also confirmed that she had a perfectly symmetrical face before surgery, but she looked even worse after the facelift. Furthermore, he even revealed that she might have a plastic surgery addiction, shocking her fans and making them worry about her.

However, the surgeon also pointed out that it might not entirely be the actress’s fault; instead, the operator who did her facelift might have messed things up.

Did Plastic Surgery ruin Meg Ryan’s career?

Ryan’s face does believe that her appearance changes may have ended her acting career as she does not look as beautiful as before. Furthermore, her fans were not thrilled by her new looks, which may have made new filmmakers hesitant to cast her in new movies.

However, Ryan completely denies these rumors and has stated she left Hollywood for some peace as she was getting burnt out by the busy schedule. She claims she was among her family members and loved ones and wanted to avoid the spotlight.

She continues not to provide a definite answer on if she has received surgery despite the request of her fans.

Gerard Pique has made a name for himself as one of the best defenders in the world. He is a retired Spanish professional footballer who predominantly played as a center-back.

Pique gained recognition for his formidable tackling skills, unwavering resilience under pressure, and numerous career triumphs.

But, most recently, he has faced criticism due to his controversial breakup with his long-term girlfriend, famous singer Shakira. His tumultuous relationship has landed him in hot water.

Gerard Pique cheated on Shakira

Although there has been no official confirmation, it is believed that Pique cheated on Shakira. The couple ended their 12-year relationship in June 2022. The singer was devastated to discover that the father of her children had been unfaithful to her while they were still together. 

There have been rumors circulating which suggest that she caught him in the act when she noticed that a particular food item had been partially consumed. The food item in question was a fruit jam only Shakira ate in the house.

A source informed Page Six that Shakira was distraught upon discovering that another woman appeared to be comfortably living in the house they shared with their children. 

It was reported that the woman was residing in their home while Shakira was away, and in 2021, she was spotted in one of Pique’s backgrounds in Zoom. According to the same source, Shakira and Pique were still together when the woman was spotted in the video call, and Shakira was away on a trip with their children then.

Shakira’s song on Gerard Pique’s infidelity

Shakira was heartbroken upon discovering her boyfriend’s infidelity. However, she used heartbreak as inspiration for her music.

As part of the Music Sessions project by producer Bizarrap, the 45-year-old Colombian singer released a new song titled “#53” on January 12, 2023. The lyrics, penned by Shakira herself, appear to criticize her ex-partner indirectly.

In the energetic breakup song, she sings, “I’m worth two 22-year-olds,” and goes on to say, “You swapped a Ferrari for a [Renault] Twingo/You swapped a Rolex for a Casio.” She also implies that her ex-partner, who is fond of working out, should train his brain a bit and adds: “a she-wolf like me isn’t for rookies.”

The singer also says, “I was out of your league,” alluding to Piqué’s previous career as a football player for Manchester United and Barcelona. Not just that, she also blatantly mentions the name of the woman he cheated on her with, Clara Chia Marti.

Reports suggest that Pique and Marti are still together. After Shakira released her song, the footballer posted a photo on Instagram of him and his girlfriend.

The couple released a statement in November 2022, stating that their main goal is to ensure the safety and protection of their children and that they hope they can continue living their lives in a secure and peaceful environment. 

The specific details of the custody agreement have not been made public; however, it is believed that Milan and Sasha will permanently relocate from Barcelona (Piqué’s residence) to Miami (Shakira’s family residence).
